After Gaza protests, Columbia agreed to a $21m antisemitism fund. Whose claims will count?

Columbia University has established a $21 million fund to compensate Jewish employees who claim they faced harassment due to protests supporting Palestinian rights, following a settlement with the Trump administration last year. As the filing window closes, Jewish faculty members are applying for compensation, raising questions about the criteria for who will be deemed eligible. This settlement underscores the broader issue of balancing free speech with creating a safe work environment amid politically charged protests.
